Simplicity Workshops

A Fresh Start Eliminating Clutter in Your Home & Life

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time and the first “bite” is always the hardest. You might surprise yourself- the first bite wasn’t so bad, and soon another bite seems manageable. Before you know it, you’re well on your way to finishing whatever “elephant” is on your plate. Wasting so much time worrying about how we will ever finish getting organized, often paralyzes us on starting. This is the perfect customized workshop for helping you begin the process of organizing your home so you can actually finish it.

Finding Peace With Simplicity

The life you live and the space in which you live, are intrinsically intertwined.  Unfortunately our busyness and clutter often prevent us from experiencing God’s ultimate desire for us: freedom, peace, and rest. Participants will identify clutter in their own lives, evaluate their current situation, design a vision, set goals, and develop a plan of action for change.  It is time to grasp the concept of why less is truly more. If you struggle to make time for yourself, now is the time to join us!

Order 101: The How and Why Combined

Clutter comes in many forms, none pretty.  We have cluttered homes, calendars, schedules and minds. But understanding the WHY is the first critical step in the organizing process.  Thinking should precede doing.  Then comes the HOW of organizing.  Join author, Robin McCoy and Simplicity’s owner, Laurie Martin for this motivational and inspiring workshop. Learn practical strategies and gain insights that will empower you to declutter your life from the inside out.
